LEGO Skylines Overview
LEGO Skylines is a cozy, customizable city-building game developed by Iceflake Studios and published by Paradox Interactive, produced under license from The LEGO Group. It's a standalone spin-off of the Cities: Skylines series, built by the same Tampere, Finland-based studio that took over development of Cities: Skylines II in 2026, and previously created Surviving the Aftermath.
Players start with a single plot of land and grow it into a full LEGO metropolis, managing basics like roads, electricity, food, and water alongside jobs, parks, and housing, all built and customized brick by brick. Paradox has billed the game as being aimed primarily at adult players while remaining accessible to newcomers and younger family members alike.
